It looks like it's only performing the cross-session compatibility checks when it absolutely has to now, hence why you get the prompt when the online matchmaking process fires.

Not a good way to do it, but in a strange way I hope that's how it stays. The tuners often made things worse for offline players and I would get a bit paranoid that the underlying code wasn't actually smart enough to apply a different set of values depending on what gameplay version you'd selected.

More than once I deleted all game data and played with what came out of the box and no update as that often felt best.

Just played a game with zero speed setting. CPU had 9 penalties, Hum had 5, maybe too many now !!!!!!!!!

I actually think that's cool and I'm glad you love it and have a personal success. I also do not dispute your theory on drawing penalties. Yes I'm having a decent amount of penalties and yes I do enjoy the game. You and I will always differ on the reason though. You believe it's about how you play the game.....and sure there is truth to that, but I will never accept that is the way it was designed. I still believe sliders are broken and discipline ratings are meaningless. I still think EA made great strides this year but still have work to do. I will have fun playing this game but will still yearn for more, after all if we the gamer do not demand more why would they work to improve? Enjoy the game but don't settle. Always raise the bar ����

Thats impossible the sliders dont work and there are no penalties in this game ! Oh wait now there is but now not enough variance !

Sarcasm of course and Im on 6 minutes and still getting 5 to 6 penalties a game and thats in playoff mode where they seem tougher to get ?

Well the sliders don't work properly, not just the penalty slider, that is fact.
There are a ton of common penalties not called that is fact
EAs tuner update has however enabled us to get enough penalties with a few slider tweaks that is fact
Not sure where you were headed with this one. Glad to see it's working for you and so far so good here. Hopefully everyone has the tuner and can find their sweet spot.

So what's the final verdict? With the latest tuner and game speed at 2, will you see more penalties than NHL 15?

I'm still on the fence about picking this up. The lack of penalties really bugged me last year.

I see enough on default hardcore game speed with the CPU penalty sliders maxed.

I, without a doubt, am one of the biggest complainers about penalties in the series but since the tuner update I am seeing enough penalties to make the game enjoyable. I also play on speed 2 for whatever that's worth.

I'm seeing them too since the tuner update and maxing out ALL penalty sliders.
